I will not dignify your so Russian and so parochial comment
with any substantive response: you do not deserve it. However, I think I got
pretty good idea of what YOU do in your red lights "parish", judging from your
devious and deceitful smile.

part, there is no need for them if this is so). However, the impressions about
the smile remain the same.

Hillary Clinton and rock group Pussy Riot

"Great to meet the strong & brave young women from #PussyRiot, who refuse to let their voices be silenced in #Russia. 1:09 PM - 4 Apr 2014" - Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton tweeted a picture Friday of her posing with members of the anti-Vladimir Putin punk rock group Pussy Riot. Clinton met with the women during the "Women in the World Summit" in New York. The group has emerged as chief opponents of Putin, and three members were jailed in 2012 after an anti-Putin performance at a church. The tweet has been re-tweeted almost 10,000 times.
